Arrival of the wounded at Peoria, Ill.


PEORIA, Ill, august 1I.-SeveraI thous-
and people was at the depot this afternoon
when the train arrived bearing the first OF
the wounded from Chstsworth. The crowd
was 70 large and so eager to obtain view
that 1t was difficult to controlit Accounts
of the disaster were obtained from several
passengers on the train. Mr.. ]. N. Tennery
who was in the first sleeper said: 81 felt
three distinct shocks and soon heard
grinding sound, and on looking out saw
that the car in which we were was directly
over the fire which was slowly blazing on
the stringers of the bridge. 1 got out safe
ly, and the scene presented to the eye and
ear was one wish could forever efface
from my memory, but 1 know 1 never
can. The shrieks Of the dying and the
glaring faces of the dead will always stay
with me. To add to the horror it was
pitch dark save the atful light of the fire
under the sleeper, which lighted the faces
of those about, only to make their anguish
visible. On the mouths of most of the
corpses could be seen loan, which
showed that they died in
agony. At last we secured some feeble
lights, but the wind blew them out and
about two o'clock the rain poured down
in torrents on the unprotected dead and
dying in the hedges and cornfields ada
cent. Our efforts were divided between
trying to put out the fire and rescuing the
dying whose cries for help were heart
rendiDg indeed. Mothers ran wildly
about crying for lost children and
wives for husbands. Strong men
were weeping over the forms of their
beloved wives. Prayers, groans and en-
entreatieS filed the air until daylight,
when relief parties got to work and re-
moved the dead and wounded from the
scene. The scene in the cars was beyond
description. One young child was found
fastended near the roof of the car, head
down, where IN the jar and conclusion it
had been thrown, and was dead when taken
down. Others were found in all conceivs-
BILE shapes, all thrown out of their seats,
piled in the end or aisle of the cars. bleed.

Mr.. Arch Croswell and wife, of Peoria,
were on their way to visit their parents in
Kaukskee with their six weeks old baby.
Mrs. Croswell occupied seat at the front
end of the car next TO the door. Mr.. Cros-
well being unable to get seat with his
wife took another position a few seats
back. When the conclusion came, the
front end of the car was crushed in and
Mrs. Crosswel killed. The baby was found
in the center OF the car with but slight in
jvries. 1t was taken to farm house near
by and cared for.

This institution, founded upon practical

Minneapolis, and is now in the third year of
its good work. The managers of the inn
issue tickets at the nominal price of ten cents
each. which they ask the public to buy and
to give to able bodied trampS when accosted
instead of money. The ticket presented at
the institution insureS the bearer an oppor-

for his lodging and breakfast.
In addition TO a comfortable lodging and
wholesome food pleasant sitting room is
provided for the wayfarers, together with a
bath and place to wash and dry their

The store kindling wood thus produced is
sold to the citizens of Minneapolis at mod

the institution furnishes about 5000 meals

They fly from one part 10 another without
